Answer:
Coprolites are the type of fossils which can tell the scientist what dinosaurs ate.
Explanation:
A Coprolites is fossilized faeces.They are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils as they give evidence for the animal's behaviour rather than morphology.This name is derived from Greek words.They were first described by William Buckland in 1829.
Answer:
only females
Explanation:
In humans, sex chromosomes in males and females are different. The sex chromosomes found in humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the X- chromosome. According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means the condition is inherited on the abnormal dominant X-chromosome that will express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome.
Hence, a father affected by the condition will have a genotype; XY while a mother that does not have the condition will have a genotype: xx (two normal x chromosomes). Since the Father can only pass his X chromosome to his daughters and never his sons, all his daughters will inherit the condition (see the punnet square in attached image).
N.B: None of the sons will inherit the condition since the mother will pass normal X-chromosomes (x) to her sons.
Answer:
a. hox genes.
Explanation:
HOX genes have the following functions:
- HOX genes are the homeobox subset.
- They specify the areas of the embryo's body plan along the animal head-tail axis.
- They are encoding Hox proteins that specify the position characteristics and ensure that the right structures form at the right position in the body.
- They regulate high-level executive genes, such as transcription factors and intracellular signaling molecules, which adhere, number, form, and growth to cells.
The vertebrates are highly preserved.
The clusters and other genes occur uninterrupted.
Evolutionary, the heterogeneous regulatory areas between the genes most previously present are larger and more preserved than those present at the other ends of the clusters.
The characteristical feature is that these are homeodomain proteins with a highly preserved area of DNA binding encoded with homeobox gens.
If another predator, that is more efficient hunter, enters the territory of the puffins, the puffins will find themselves in a very tough situation. They will either have to adapt very quickly, or die out.
The evolutionary pressure will be there fro the puffins to push them in a direction to adapt and be netter hunters, thus fight for their existence. That would mean that the puffin's beak, but also their speed and efficiency will have to improve in order to compete or even out-compete the new predator.
If the puffins do not manage to adapt relatively quickly, and a food shortage occurs, than they will die out, as they will lose the fight for food constantly.
Answer:
mutase
Explanation:
A mutase is an enzyme that catalyzes the movement of a functional group from one position to another within the same molecule, in this case glucose.
The reaction of interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate occurs in glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down to pyruvate in order to produce energy. It occurs in cytosol and it can be divided into two phases: phase that requires energy (two ATP molecules are used) and phase that produces energy (four ATP molecules together with two NADH are produced).
